Issue #17030 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).
I'm surprised at the performance difference on MRI though. Just allocating the MatchData shouldn't be so expensive. Maybe `Regexp#match?` has additional optimizations?

Currently,
```ruby
array.select { |e| e.match?(REGEXP) }
```
is about three times faster and six times more memory efficient than
```ruby
array.grep(REGEXP)
```
This is because `grep` calls `Regexp#===`, which creates useless `MatchData`.
